Several TPA's have websites in which you can submit articles or pay for advertising and market to the SDI owners.

It includes all the basics like how to advertise, screening tenants, Fair Housing law, security deposits, rent disputes, dealing with tenants, etc.

Hi David,Is the process easier when the government determines the building is abandoned or vacant and left open to the public?

It was sort of like the Blair Witch Project - lots of hype through advertising and promotion that it is the scariest movie ever.......everyone went in with an expectation and it was pretty disappointing.

thanks for your replies guys. wondering about those pre qualification advertisements for the various banks. i would imagine my credit score and money in the bank would come into play. but id just like a better idea of the price range with 20k in the bank. probably too specific of a question. i guess i should check for existing topics on the subject before asking as per forum etiquette.

Especially since it cost the seller less than listing it.But, if I were to advertise to home owners, sought out sellers, began contracting as a business venture, tied up properties taking them off the market, didn't have the ability to close the deals, went out seeking buyers by flipping those contracts, my reputation would be mud!

I think that some are abandoned.

Your idea is good...just be sure it won't get you in trouble.Could you treat the unit as abandoned and do whatever procedure is required for that?

From my mailing, I'm constantly being contacted by owners of free & clear property that won't come low enough on pricing for me to wholesale, but are more than happy to do super reasonable owner financing deals.From advertising my wholesaling deals, I'm constantly being contacted by buyers with down payments that want owner financing (owner occupant).How do I (legally) structure these deals to make it a Win/Win/Win?

Many times they advertise for $20k but you can usually get them for $10k-15k
